01 Jan 2021 21:32:10
Cannot be defeated tomorrow as it would give them so much confidence and really test our bottle! Nothing less than a draw. 3 points and I'm over the moon 🌙.

01 Jan 2021 22:40:06
Mant a battle is lost in winning a war. We put tit to on esode and go ona another unbertune run of 18 games.

01 Jan 2021 22:41:11
If and it's a big "IF" we're defeated? It will be a bad result and we will have the usual lot declaring a rangers collapse! But we will still be top of the league with a considerable lead! They have to win tomorrow or its over for them! We can go on about mathematically possible this and that? But let's face it would take an almighty collapse for us to throw the league away if we win tomorrow!

01 Jan 2021 23:52:28
Your 100% correct mate, and it’s always been the case, a few weeks ago some people shouted loud and long that it’s over, 55 is done, ignoring the 3 games, possible the same people who shouted about the games rangers had in hand last year, yet with an absolute turnaround, this league isn’t finished even if rangers win, absolutely not, and it will be madness to even think that, it’s the 2nd of January, some had it won long before Xmas, and again you’re correct, any boost for them is very bad for rangers, c'mon the Gers.

02 Jan 2021 01:00:17
Tom, I just watched only an excuse tonight mate and was one of the best shows yet. It was a best of the show over the years including clips from this year. Is that how they set the show up before the bells or have I watched a different show?

02 Jan 2021 01:52:36
Jessoh that got sent before spell check, cheers edd LOL. 🤣🤣.

{Ed001's Note - it's new year everyone is allowed a drunken text message mate.}

01 Jan 2021 21:27:17
900 minutes till kick off and it's draggin in.

01 Jan 2021 23:57:13
Get on US racing brexit, and have a bit on Goldson and a saver on Borna first and last, Rangers 3-2, and 4-1,

02 Jan 2021 09:33:04
Done Goldson Tom 20/ 1 first and 20/ 1 last.

01 Jan 2021 21:17:56
If we beat them tommorow I've got a lorry all set too deliver 30 panels of Herras Fencing to porkheid.

01 Jan 2021 21:15:16
Respect to the Celtic fans putting banner up at parkhead remembering ibrox disaster.

01 Jan 2021 22:42:05
Think it was the club mate? But yeah respect for them doing it 👏.

01 Jan 2021 22:45:50
Yes i seen it Banxger 👍Fair play to the celtic supporters who put that very poignant banner up, in respect of the 66 poor souls who so tragically lost their lives in the ibrox disaster 😞 There's good on both sides and only the minority on both sides waste it at times for all the good supporters 🤔.

02 Jan 2021 01:02:11
It was fans mate great but of respect shown from them let’s hope the green brigade don’t burn it tomorrow at there protests after losing the game.

01 Jan 2021 21:12:09
Win or lose the tomorrow let's not forget the 66 lost soles from 50 years ago .
I am old enough to remember the old Ibrox and can say our club has tried to improve safety to make sure it never happens again.
For the 66 hope we get 55.

01 Jan 2021 22:52:01
Yea I agree dounebear, Willie Waddell made sure our club would never go through another day like that. The fans that lost their lives will never be forgotten and rightly so.

02 Jan 2021 00:03:50
I remember it well mate, I still have a scar from being hit by a flying beer can in the old Derry when I was about 12,during the weekly gang fight, many a Saturday I went down on the grass rather than being carried down those steps 2 feet off the ground,

01 Jan 2021 20:31:19
I know I've said win next 3 games would really put us in the best position ever, I know we still need to be on top of our game for the rest of the season, but to win tomorrow and then pick up 6 points away to Aberdeen then Motherwell really would put us nearly home and dry, I know we might hit a bad few games but not enough to lose the league so in total honesty we win next 3 we win league and I stick by that 👍🏻👍🏻⚽️⚽️⚽️.

01 Jan 2021 21:21:38
I know if the boot is on the other foot everybody on here is conceding the league so, yes, I agree.

01 Jan 2021 21:21:42
Our away games before the split are: Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hibs, Livingston and Celtic with the first three of them in January. We also have home games against Ross County, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, St Mirren and Dundee Utd before the split. Bottom line is that if we win tomorrow and have a reasonable January this league could be closed out before the split.

01 Jan 2021 21:34:36
Agree mAr if we win next 3 we could go on to be legitimate champions and with a healthy points difference.
Come on Rangers.

01 Jan 2021 22:10:04
And the goal difference is worth an extra point so all good.

01 Jan 2021 19:31:34
Team for tomorrow will be

Gk McGregor

RB Tavernier
CB Goldson
CB Helander
LB Barasic

CM Aribo
Cm David
CM Kamara

Rw Roofe
LW Kent
St Morelos

The way they're being hyped up is laughable

Hamilton, Ross County, Dundee Utd and Kilamrnock

12th and 11th Dundee United missed a few sitters and Kilmarnock until yesterday lost 9 games in a row or something maybe no wins in 9 not sure

Anyway my prediction is

Rangers 4 - 2 Celtic

Morelos 2x
Roofe
Aribo

Here's hoping.

01 Jan 2021 19:55:10
Form goes out the window with old firm games anyway this ain’t an easy win.

01 Jan 2021 20:52:28
Would go with the above team but play McLaughlin in goal. Just feel his distribution and command of his area makes us more secure. Play to our best and we will win.

01 Jan 2021 16:01:02
If we pump them tomorrow, which we will the auld Popcorn teeth will be removed ASAP! If we were to drop points we must regroup stronger! ✌️🇬🇧🥃.

01 Jan 2021 17:11:35
Theyl come zt us from the off i'm sure so well just hit them on the break.

01 Jan 2021 17:24:48
Heras fencing at the ready!
Riot police on standby.
🔴⚪🔵.

01 Jan 2021 18:43:09
Hi first time poster Happy New Year to all fellow bears. If we play to our strengths won't matter what team the tims put out we'll won end off for them.

01 Jan 2021 19:19:21
Welcome aboard Larky 👍
All the best to you in 2021.
🔴⚪🔵.

01 Jan 2021 19:33:39
A very warm welcome to you Larkybillyboy 👍A very healthy, wealthy, happy 2021 to you and your family 👍'SLAINTE'🥃.

01 Jan 2021 20:34:24
Thanks guys when win tomorrow I'll get the flute out as normal play a couple of tunes for the neighbours.

01 Jan 2021 21:12:39
It all depends on how we play tomorrow if we play well we will have too much for them.

01 Jan 2021 15:58:04
fORECAST : 2-1 Gers - Alfredo to break his duck.

01 Jan 2021 16:29:55
I'm saying rangers 3-1 tomorrow with roofe, morelos and barisic our goalscorers 👍🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 16:59:40
3-1, Goldson Roofe and Morelos to score, and Kent to terrorise them. hopefully , c'mon the bears!

01 Jan 2021 17:21:05
3-0, Morelos to score along with Kent and a Tavernier penalty. 🤔.

01 Jan 2021 17:24:52
Big day for Aribo and Kamara to compete and beat Brown and McGregor. Roofe can be our match winner although would love Morelos to get a goal.

01 Jan 2021 17:25:57
I think we’ll get a pen tomorrow aswell. I think maybe 2-2 all week but I’m thinking we may win 3-2 now.

01 Jan 2021 17:27:28
2 all. Both teams to score both halfs. 12s.

01 Jan 2021 18:30:24
3-1 gers, morelos double and roofe.

01 Jan 2021 19:12:17
One thing I have learned in my 70 years is that old firm games are unpredictable. This is a crucial month for Rangers and we will have a better understanding of our chances of winning 55 when January is over. Will adopt my usual position of watching the game from behind the couch when it's on TV. C'mon the Gers.

01 Jan 2021 19:56:08
2-0 fredo and tav.

01 Jan 2021 20:32:19
Would love Tav to score with a penalty 🤣🤣.

01 Jan 2021 21:24:14
Starting to get the jitters now. Come on us.

01 Jan 2021 14:42:22
If Kamara and Davis play to there potential tommorow then I have a feeling the rest automatically falls into place.

01 Jan 2021 15:12:31
I think the key to winning the game the morra is how our superb full backs play 👍🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 17:05:09
They play the diamond barisic and tav will have a field day.

01 Jan 2021 17:24:31
Keeping 11 men on the park and set plays will be vital tomorrow.

01 Jan 2021 17:34:47
I've got a horrible feeling morelos will get sent off. Hope I'm wrong. If we beat them then I'm convinced that's the season over.

01 Jan 2021 14:20:19
latest new years day post, its all quiet over in tic town, its really eerie over there, not many happy new years being dished out, long may it last.

01 Jan 2021 14:01:28
Happy new year troops 2-0 or 3-1 tomorrow would be great and finally put that lot to bed hopefully. also just reading that they have quoted 10.5 mil for the right back ping-pong are they serious he, s guff . if that's the case can't imagine what tav must be worth then.

01 Jan 2021 15:16:10
I agree Dava76👍If frimpong is worth £10.5million on the usually over inflated celtic calculator then tav is easily £15million plus! In saying that what would barisic be worth going by their calculator 🤔, easily £20million plus i'd say 👌🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 13:47:51
By the way, forgot to mention the lovely gesture/ touch by our left back borna barisic,
who is participating in helping the victims of the earthquake, in his country of croatia 👏👏👏👏 Fantastic gesture in another very sad disaster 😞.

01 Jan 2021 15:07:35
Let's hope he creates a storm over in the east end tomorrow.

01 Jan 2021 13:44:36
Although all our starting 11 will need to play well tomorrow to win the old firm game, i'm sure most of us would agree that the key to us winning this game, will be how good and prominent our full backs james tavernier and borna barisic are in this game 🤔I have a sneaking feeling that lennon will set out to stifle both by shutting down the space, much the way st. mirren did 🤔I think that's why they quite possibly will go with 2 up top, in edouard and griffiths, with the instruction of both them getting out to borna and tav, as soon as they receive the ball to shut down that space down the flanks 🤔They then will be hoping to utilise an overload in the midfield, as they will have four to our three in there 🤔I expect them to have brown,
mcgregor, turnbull and christie in there,
hoping to get the space with the overload to damage us 🤔If that does happen and our full backs are getting stifled, gerrard will have to tweak our system, to then find another way to play against them🤔 What do we think fellow bears, thoughts on this please guys 🤔.

01 Jan 2021 14:33:23
No way brown will play. Soro will play.

01 Jan 2021 15:18:44
I've no doubt brown will play Herewego55 and i also hope he does 👍🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 15:20:08
I think Brown will definitely start for them tomorrow. He s had a rest and expect him to perform full on.

01 Jan 2021 16:14:09
Broon will definately start, his role will be chief sh1t stirrer, and will try to get players wound up and sent off.
Lemon needs him, because he knows if we play to our potential we will beat them.

01 Jan 2021 17:06:56
Brown starts we win 👍 you lads owe me a virtual beer when yous are wrong haha.

01 Jan 2021 17:10:39
They'll play him alright to wind Alfie up, we have to be disciplined, especially Alfie, I'll bet Alfie scores at least one goal tomorrow if he keeps his head in order, this celtic defence are there for the taking. "Fill Your Boots Alfie". Come on the Rangers.

01 Jan 2021 19:58:22
I have a feeling he will play brown because of experience and if thru go two up top both tav and barasic can’t go bombing Willy nilly as we will be left short at the back.

01 Jan 2021 13:43:26
Just like to wish all fellow bears and Ed's a Happy new year, Stay safe 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇬🇧👍.

01 Jan 2021 14:45:20
All the best cunny👍.

01 Jan 2021 14:35:32
Only one in my house who likes steak pie so I've got one all to myself 🤣🤣all the troops have gammon it's currently cooking away while I cheer on gary anderson with a beer 🍺🎯🍺.

01 Jan 2021 15:11:16
I had haggis, neeps and tatties yesterday mate. Resting my stomach today so that I can have a malt or two later! Enjoy the steak pie.

01 Jan 2021 15:22:19
Yip Bluebilly, its the whole and hearty steak pie for me also pal👌
With roast potatoes, ordinary potatoes, carrots, sprouts and peas 👍 Traditional scottish dinner at the new year! Ye cannot whack it 👌.

01 Jan 2021 17:30:06
Home made prawn cocktail for me followed by the Mrs homemade steak pie and honey glazed roasted veg with potatoes and a shop bought Sicilian lemon and blackcurrant pavlova for desserts.
All the best for 2021
💙💙💙💙💙

Ed01

Happy New Year and best for 2021.

Is Ben Woodburn's loan being extended?

{Ed001's Note - Liverpool want to sell him. And happy new year to you too Bankie, first time I have noticed it is not Banksie you are called, doh. Only took a few years (or however long you have been posting) for me to notice.}

01 Jan 2021 12:15:11
Good morning fellow bears and a happy new year to all hope this year sees a end to this terrible virus and we can all move on Saturdays game should be a cracker both teams will be up for it would start Alfie roofe and Kent if for any reason Alfie gets booked he can be replaced can't afford to leave him on hope he stays like to see him score on Saturday.

01 Jan 2021 11:55:58
Happy new year to all the bears and special thanks to the Ed's. 👍

Hopefully this year turns out to be a happy BLUE year for all of us 💙💙💙
🔴⚪🔵.

01 Jan 2021 09:05:13
I meant to say happy New Year Eds too for all your great work. The Banter site is really good fun. Have a great 2021.

{Ed001's Note - cheers DOIGER happy new year mate.}

01 Jan 2021 10:15:25
I'll second that Doiger. 👍.

01 Jan 2021 10:56:18
Me three!

01 Jan 2021 12:20:04
Me five.

01 Jan 2021 12:44:09
Fouuuur-happy New Year ed, posters, and reader of this site.

01 Jan 2021 13:56:13
Me four.

01 Jan 2021 08:56:46
Happy New Year Bears. 2021 is going to be our year when we are back at the top!
I was just thinking for some fun, who are the best wingers ever to play for Rangers? Here is a list I've compiled so far:

Willie Johnston
Willie Henderson
Davy Wilson
Tommy McLean
Alex Scott
Johnny Hubbard
Brian Laudrup

For me, the best out and out winger I've seen is Willie Henderson. I appreciate most of us won't have seen Johnny Hubbard, unless we are very old, but apparently he was a superb player.

Cheers Bears! What do you think and apologies if I've missed anybody obvious. I'll blame the drink from last night.

01 Jan 2021 09:32:15
Happy New Year Doiger. Some great players in there. I'll mention Davie Cooper before somebody else does! 😂👍🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 09:35:24
Aagghh! How could I forget Cooper! It must have been that last malt I had at midnight! Cheers mate.

01 Jan 2021 09:43:24
A great list and i would add neil mccann to that list 👍Mccann for me was a terrific winger for us 👌🇬🇧.

01 Jan 2021 09:47:52
Well said Seeker. A close call between Cooper and Laudrup but I go Cooper.

01 Jan 2021 10:20:07
Mark Walters, great crosses for big hately.

01 Jan 2021 10:31:16
Kfraser i agree, that although laudrup was immense the late great davie cooper would always edge it for me also pal👍🇬🇧 What a genius coop was 👌I wonder what he'd be worth in this day and age 🤔He had an absolute 'WAND' of a left peg and only used his right foot for standing on 👏👏👏.

01 Jan 2021 10:39:55
Ah memories, feel honoured to have seen them all.

01 Jan 2021 11:56:02
Sorry guys but it's Laudrup for me. Of course Davie was an immense talent as well but for consistency it has to be Brian.

01 Jan 2021 12:07:51
Ted mcminn 😂. Cooper for me but run close by laudrup.

01 Jan 2021 14:05:39
Vastly underrated on the wing for us was Neil McCann. does anyone agree?

01 Jan 2021 14:14:09
Quinton Young.

01 Jan 2021 15:02:10
Youve left out capucho and rothen cannot believe it.

01 Jan 2021 15:30:15
Recall Willie Johnstone sticking the head on Davie Provan towards end of his career at Hearts. A tormented skilful player. Also had great career down south at WBA with the Cyrill Regis team.

01 Jan 2021 17:12:11
Some more wongers Willie Waddle Orjan Person tin man Ted Mc Minn.

01 Jan 2021 17:16:46
Aye McCann deserves to be on the list as well. Great player.

01 Jan 2021 07:39:03
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 1st January 2021

Happy New Year fellow bears. Stay healthy and hope this year brings more joy than last. Hope to see you all soon at Ibrox. Worse case scenario would be to see us lift the trophy on the last day of the season.

31 Dec 2020 23:07:50
Just watching only an excuse, JJ’s wife is cracking! 👌👌.
